Xcel Solutions?
I feel like I’ve been caught up in an MLM, and I’m considering getting my life insurance license just to exit the situation. However, I’m trying to access the study materials from Xcel Solutions that the “agent” provided, but my browser keeps flagging the site as unsafe. When I attempt to proceed, it prompts me to download a privacy extension, which I chose not to do. Upon returning to the site, I encountered a spammy Microsoft Office page claiming my computer has been locked and my IP address is compromised, instructing me not to close my laptop and to call a number. Naturally, I closed it out since it seemed like obvious spam.
Now, I’m feeling uneasy about the website. Is there any alternative way to access the necessary study materials for the insurance license, or should I just look for other options?
It sounds like you’re in a tough situation, and it’s good that you are being cautious about the website and the material you’re trying to access. That warning about your computer being locked is definitely a red flag for spam or potentially harmful content.
If you’re looking to get your life insurance licensing, there are several other reputable options to consider for study materials:
Official State Websites: Check your state’s department of insurance website. They often have links to approved study materials and resources.
Reputable Online Courses: Websites like Kaplan, ExamFX, or Prelicensure.com offer comprehensive study courses for insurance licensing exams. They’re trustworthy and widely used.
Community Colleges or Local Classes: Some community colleges offer courses that prepare you for the life insurance licensing exam, often with in-person instruction and support.
Books: You can also find study guides and textbooks at libraries or bookstores that cover the material needed for the exam.
Forums and Discussion Groups: Consider joining forums or social media groups focused on insurance licensing; members often share resources and study tips.
It’s wise to move on from Xcel Solutions, especially given the issues you’re experiencing. Prioritize your safety and select resources that are well regarded in the industry. Good luck!
